Screensaver Question

This might sound like a silly question to many of you but - if a screensaver is on, will programs keep working in the background, like for instance Outlook Express checking for mail?

I've never used screensaver before, so I've no idea....

 

Yes (as far as this newbie knows! lmao)


(However, if you defrag, I prefer to turn my screensaver off and reboot into safe mode.)



Happy computin'

 

OK, thanks very much!
